Gray ties fhe sea, 
Al Beavy fog fangs fow and dens= and dark ; 
Dive outPined Brough tBe mist are anchored ships. 
TRe sea-Birde fofd their wings and sfiv'ring sfand, 
Or doubting rise witfR sPow and wav'ring stroke 
To sifert poise on yonder fOssing huey. 
The distant fog-Beff ffs in tones so weird 
One needs mvst fisten ag it were to count, 
If yowng or ofd the new departed soaf. 
Sfowfy the suffer tide sweeps in and breaks 
Wit6B a daff pfask wpon the sodden shore.

By high tides fisswred o'er, 
Were stormy petrefs voice their cries, 


And sea _guffs wheef and soar. 


Befow, upon the wave-wasfed roeks, 
Hefd in the cfose embrace 

Of efingimg Refp, a rigid forn, 

The death seaf on its face.

To wrap the ocean rownd;

Their massive strengtfB fer being fiffs ; 
Her head ig vaifed in transient mist, 
Her feet by wooing biffows Kissed.

WRose precious perfume fi€fs the air,

Threagh aff the dreamy, ffeeting days 
Ever beyond is fixed fer gaze. 

Thasg Santa Barb'ra sits serene 


Beside the sea, an wncrewned Queen.
